Outstanding, Knowledgeable, Conscientious, Trustworthy RE Lawyer

The title says it all. I have been through both buyer and seller RE sales with Arlene as my lawyer. I am SO glad she was referred to me years ago by a local real estate agent. Arlene forms a relationship with her Clients based on trust, knowledge, commitment and humor (so refreshing). Arlene is focus...ed and forceful, but with a sense of humor that not only helps with the legal work, but is enjoyable separate and apart from the working relationship. I have contacted Arlene nights, weekends whenever needed and she is always there responding quickly. She makes the process easier to deal with not only with her knowledge / recommendations, but by using, in addition to verbal communication, technology to communicate via emails, scanned documents, etc. I was able to close a sale in Mass from Florida with Arlene as Power of Attorney. Trust, integrity, commitment to do the best job possible, etc. all for a very reasonable fee. She is well respected and totally protects your interests while remaining available, pleasant. attentive to details and patient in explaining status and developments, all providing piece of mind that? Need I say more....

Excellent, conscientious, nice and very competent attorney

I hired Arlene for a real estate closing, a commercial building lease, some personal legal work, and also consulted with her for some estate planning advice. She has always been extremely knowledgeable and very patient in explaining the process and answering all of my questions and concerns. She re...sponded quickly in returning my calls and requests for information. I felt she alerted me to any potential pitfalls so they could be avoided and have felt very comfortable using her for my legal needs. She has a great personality and is very easy to work with. I strongly recommend her to others.

Comprehensive service, no t left uncrossed!

I recently had Arlene Keating prepare my will and help me to get my financial future on the right path. Through out the whole (extensive! WOW! so many things to line up) process she helped me feel comfortable and asked me questions so that I could really think through what exactly I wanted. She was t...horough, thoughtful and patient. My will protects my child as well as my own future and I feel much more confident now that this is complete. I recommend her work and expertise without hesitation. She is excellent!

Helped me in every possible way!

Arlene is one of a kind. I needed to find a home for my daughter and myself following a tough divorce. I got lucky and found a condo in forclosure. She helped me so much. Walked me through the process. I had never purchased a home on my own before and was feeling raw and pretty scared of the whole th...ing. Her encouragement, honesty and kindness gave me the confidence to pull the trigger. She is very direct (and funny) but knowledgable. She had an answer for all of my questions, worked easily with my mortgage broker and made herself available to me every step of the way. I have never met a real estate broker who doesn't know her and recommend her work. She has the highest integrity and isn't afraid to tell you the thing you don't want to hear if she feels you will benefit from it. I trust her implicitly. She will be handling my estate planning next. Call her. You will never regret it.
